Practice Transformation (PT)
Partnering Together to Transform the HIV Clinical Workforce
The Southeast AETC’s PT program’s goal are to increase the size and strength of the HIV clinical workforce and to improve patient outcomes along the HIV Care Continuum. We partner with selected clinics across the Southeast to improve patient outcomes by integrating principles of the patient-centered medical home model and implementing HIV care and behavioral health services.
Practice Transformation (PT) is a process of change in an organization and delivery of primary care to advance quality improvement, patient-centered care, and characteristics of high performing primary care.
The Practice Transformation process involves goal-setting, workforce training, culture change, quality improvement and outcomes measurement, and adapting organizational tools and processes to support advances in models of team-based care.
The Practice Transformation Expansion (PTE) program partners specifically with primary care clinics located in the 220 counties identified by the CDC as being at risk for an HIV and/or HCV outbreak due to injection drug use. These clinics receive additional training on identifying and addressing substance misuse in patients and providing medical care for HIV/HCV coinfection.
